I am pretty green still, my third batch is in the fermenter. This batch, IPA 1.066 target was 1.074, was put in the fermenter more than a week ago on 1/30. The airlock continues to bubble away and has a good krausen. I have heard that fermenting at lower temperatures help with a cleaner tasting beer. My last batch a milk stout 1.066OG -1.020FG was about 65* the whole time and finished in 4 days. This batch has been about 60-62 the whole time, I guess everything is ok just haven't had a beer take this long. Just anxious to get it out but I am going to have to wait dry hop after it finally finishes fermenting. Maybe I need to get another carboy so I can have multiple batches going at the same time?
